In an instant, Yuan's mother turned pale. She bit her lips until a smell of rust spread.

It was this fishy smell that made her wake up. Her eyes suddenly became bright, and her sharp gaze was fixed on Chu Yao.

"Do you dare to swear that what you said didn't lie to me?" Her voice was hoarse, like a ghost crawling out of hell.

Chu Yao recalled calmly, what did she just say?

It seems to be saying, "If you surrender, your sentence may be reduced as appropriate."

It seems that what Yuan's mother is most concerned about is what sentence she will be sentenced to in the end and how much she will suffer.

"Of course I swear that I didn't lie to you." Chu Yao looked at her without fear.

Mother Yuan looked at Chu Yao's expression and found no trace of lying or guilty conscience.

Finally, she was defeated, and her whole momentum collapsed.

She nodded twice and said, "Okay, I'll say it. But I'm only telling the police. You go out and call the police in."

"Well, I'll see you again, aunt."

After saying this, Chen Peiwen stood up and walked out.

After leaving the police station, Chen Peiwen immediately asked: "What do you mean by that sentence? Why is my aunt so nervous?"

"Probably because she knew she had an oversight." Chu Yao said, "As far as I know, before Mr. Yuan passed away, the Yuan family probably didn't hire a nanny, right?"

Chen Peiwen said with approval: "Yes, my aunt does many things herself. No matter how we persuade her, she doesn't listen."

Chu Yao asked again: "If it were you, where would you choose to put the nitrite?"

"It must be in the food. You need to use a lot of seasonings when cooking, which will directly cover up the taste of nitrite." Chen Peiwen replied.

She suddenly realized something. According to what Chu Yao said, her aunt put saltpeter, which was comparable to poison, into her cousin Yuan Jiahao's diet.

And she was afraid of being discovered by others, so she didn't hire a nanny, and all the housework fell on her.

When Yuan's mother was young, she was quite capable of doing these housework, but as she got older, she gradually began to lose her ability.

Chen Peiwen sometimes makes video calls to her aunt, and she can see that her home is messier than before.

The area where the Yuan family is located is full of old houses, and underground water pipes often have problems, and water outages are common.

Under such circumstances, it would have taken several days for Yuan's mother to wash the dishes and mop the floor. Once the water was cut off, the delay would probably be even longer.

Therefore, Mother Yuan would probably put away the unwashed dishes and wait until the water came before washing them.

After all, Yuan's mother is an old man, and it is normal for her to be forgetful.

She herself couldn't remember if there were any unwashed dishes in the cupboard, but she was sure of one thing - every unwashed bowl would be tested for nitrite.

As long as the police go to Yuan's house to search, they will definitely find those evidences.

If Yuan's mother didn't tell her in advance, her situation would get worse.

However, there is one more thing that Chen Peiwen still can't figure out.

"My aunt poisoned my uncle because he cheated on her and betrayed her. What about my cousin? She has never done anything to regret her aunt." Chen Peiwen asked.

If she dislikes her daughter for having dementia, then she can abandon her daughter.

But she didn't do this, and instead refused Mr. Yan's adoption.
